Mickey Mouse is now a Georgian Riot Cop.

boingboing.net — From BoingBoing.net: "The Rose Revolution in the former Soviet state of Georgia is collapsing under phalances [sic] of riot-cops. This is distressing, but also fascinating -- who knew that the Georgian riot cop standard issue included a freaky white Mickey Mouse mask?"

  • notque, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5It's all fun and games until you are under a brutal dictatorship.
  • flytronix, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4blame capitalism
  • pkonink, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3LOL. Between the HL2 and Fallout references it is pretty clear there are some gamers at the company that makes that equipment.
  • joker10687, on 11/11/2007, -0/+380% weird, 20% scary
  • Insomnya3AM, on 11/11/2007, -0/+3Maybe one of them is Barney.

  • vidaliasweet, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Amazing. Thank you for the link!
  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2I found it so cute. I would risk being tear-gassed just to get a chance to hug him.
  • eyesofthewolf, on 11/11/2007, -0/+2We dont go to Georgia.....
  • pkonink, on 11/11/2007, -1/+3OMG that was my first thought too, lol.

    What I want to know is how a theoretical physicist without any sort of military training has been able to elude and defeat the finest our species has to offer time and time again? It is getting harder and harder for me to convince our benefactors of your competence.
  • rwood757, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Looks straight out of a Banksy piece.
  • rnreekez, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3“Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end.”
    Walt Disney
    Walt Disney is probably rolling in his ice tray somewhere.
  • notque, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Part of the point of them is they don't seem human. Humans have feelings, and reason. Military in large gas masks that just converge and shoot do not.
  • Dokument, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1Ive always wanted to be tazed by Mickey
  • bightchee, on 11/09/2007, -2/+3This was in response to the rioter's use of Acme products.
  • ubergeek09, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1Dear lord, they do look like the Combine, that's so flipping creepy.
  • notque, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1I think all of you are sick to be laughing about it.

  • ubergeek09, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1We can only hope.
  • hobbers, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1My first thought as well.
  • cafman, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1I'm going to wear that mask around my newborn son. That way he will develop a deep seated fear of Mickey. I refuse to let him become a Disney Zombie that feels he needs every item Disney produces.
  • xero69, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1That photo is going to make one heck of a fark photoshop contest! Creeepy.
  • d1a1s1, on 11/09/2007, -3/+3These are surplus from the never opened "Disney South Central".
  • hoopadoo, on 11/09/2007, -1/+1LOL! You are so right!
  • paulpica, on 12/10/2007, -0/+0A beautiful new move in the aesthetics of anti-terror-terror. But where is the cat? - made it part of the new painting at paintedblog.com

  • solid12345, on 11/09/2007, -0/+0Still better than the Guy Fawkes mask.
  • EvanVolm, on 11/09/2007, -3/+3So THAT's why the soldiers were signing the Mickey Mouse song at the end of Full Metal Jacket....
